Legacy's Allure

Love where this game is headed, it's kind of like chess in a way but mixed with a nice table top feel. The pvp has an emphasis on player skill rather than random luck. Hope it player base continues to grow so there are more players to go against! Would be nice if the tutorial had a medieval narrator to walk you through everything while highlighting different buttons and actions.

Rough GUI and painful tutorial featuring everyone's favourite: walls of text and no agency. Finished that, went to play a game against AI, since lobby was empty, and was completely destroyed. Maybe there is a good game somewhere under this ... I don't know and I won't find out. EDIT: Since a dev took the time to respond to my short review I figured I'll give the game another shot. My initial assessment remains unchanged; the game is very rough around the edges: - Tutorial tells you exactly what to do, why you're doing it and then has you execute exactly that action. There is no room for improvisation. Once the tutorial ends you are allowed to continue the match by controlling both sides and fight yourself. This is confusing. Why not have an AI control the other side and allow the player to ... play, if they want to continue? - There is another tutorial in which you set up a match, but are not allowed to play it. What's the point? The player gets no feedback on whether their setup was good. It felt like a waste of time. - There are "Puzzles" in the learn section. You control both sides of the match in them. I'm guessing AI is either missing or broke at some point? Because this means you just have to move 1 unit to the win hex. Not much of a puzzle. - UI is clunky, but functional. In an AI match that's not too much of an issue, since you can undo any number of moves. Feels like some information is not readily available (like stats on hero units that are applied by equipment). Most notable awkwardness is that when you have a unit selected and want to select a different unit, you first need to unselect the first one with right click, which takes some getting used to. - After you destroy all defending units as an attacker, you need to keep skipping until round 7 to actually win. Could be a design decision or could be an oversight. No idea. However, I played two more matches against a bot giving it my best and, after some trial and error, managed to win. The strategy game underneath the clunky UI is better than I expected. A saving grace is that playing against a bot you can undo any number of moves, which should be made more obvious. This makes it possible to learn by experimenting and making mistakes ... which is what I'd expect from a good tutorial. Why not have the text heavy tutorials pivot into a bot match allowing the player to use what they have learned without having to stumble around in the dark? After having so many complaints, why changing to thumbs up? The game is free to try and fun, just unpolished. Despite the wall of text my only big issue is with the tutorials and that is what EA is about. TLDR: The game is fun, once you figure it out, but I think the tutorials need a major rework if intent is to attract players not already familiar with the board game.

So far I have only played the tutorial, so I obviously can't comment much on anything. But I'm intrigued. Sure, it's not flashy, with only basic animations and effects, but the game itself seems clean and certainly worth further exploration.

Такое.

Honestly one of the best heads up strategy games I've ever played. Legacy's Allure provides extreme depth when it comes to game play, but the overall rules of the game and card design is very simplistic and clean. The asymmetric win condition provides a distinct game plan for how you should be trying to win during each match. As you develop your kingdom and get familiar with it, each card you select within it becomes a little more clear on its purpose and usefulness in any given match up. Would highly recommend to anyone that likes open information strategy games and customization. Simple to pickup, extremely difficult to master. 10/10

Not 100GB. One of the games of all time.

I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by this game so far. It feels like a mix of chess and fantasy warfare, but refreshing because there is zero luck involved, just pure strategy. If you enjoy thoughtful tactics without the frustration of RNG, I’d definitely suggest giving this a try. Look forward to seeing more from Plutonian!
